MS Prescott College • BA Florida International University
1+ Years Tutoring

I've been an admissions counselor for the past 15 years and it's been an honor to help students achieve their educational goals. My ambition though is to prepare students for college and/or University through writing/english. I hold two graduate degrees, one in Humanities and the other in Visual Arts. I'm working towards becoming an Art History Professor for a College or University. It's never too late to do what you love! I love writing about art and inspiring others! In my Visual Arts degree I concentrated in Photography and I'm more than happy to teach you the basics and help you create an online portfolio. My main emphasis with Tutoring is English as it is an important part of everyday life. You need writing to even apply for a job and express yourself confidently. English is important for writing a story, persuading, informing, or educating. You'll never know what others have to say or be able to express yourself otherwise. I also hold a Bachelors in Business Administration and can also help with business writing. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me for help in writing, grammar, citation, or anything with english or business related.

Heather
MS Prescott College • BA Howard Payne University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Howard Payne University. I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Christian Education with a focus in youth ministry. I am currently working towards a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. My teaching experience spans nearly 12 years in public schools, private schools, and as a private tutor facilitating academic and social skill development. While I tutor most subjects, I am the most efficient in elementary and middle school reading, writing, and math as well as high school advanced reading and writing. I love to see students' faces light up when they explore the adventures inside a story. When teaching students, I prefer a collaborative approach. The student and I work together as partners to investigate how the student learns best, strengthening confidence academically and socially. In my spare time, I enjoy oil painting, reading, and camping with my husband.

Yusuke
BA Prescott College
2+ Years Tutoring

Hello! I'm a former high school teacher and have worked with students of all ages. I have worked in all levels of education and with students from the US, Mexico, and Japan! I have a way of making students feel comfortable and usually find some way we can relate their personal interests in their studies. I love showing students that they can do things they thought they previously couldn't! Not only can I help you with Math and Science, but I have many years of experience as an academic adviser and can help you with your study skills in general and help you become a stronger and more confident student. I have taught Algebra 1 and Geometry at the high-school level and have tutored students from Pre-K -12. Do you HATE math? Are you NOT a math person? I can help! I know it may sound corny, but I have had many student tell me that I've converted them, or at least have helped them hate it less :) I LOVE helping students who formerly thought they "can't do math" or "are NOT math people" by showing them the skills and strategies they need to succeed in the classroom. I like to use a combination of math games, practice and mini-projects to help students get deeper understanding of the lesson at hand. I also offer homework help, and can help you go back over the lesson from class.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

MS Simmons College • BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
